The data were collected from 415 U.S. nationwide consumers during the outbreak of the current pandemic and analyzed through structural equation modeling. Results indicated that although social learning through traditional media did not significantly affect consumers’ fearfulness toward product shortage or panic buying, social learning through social media exerts significant effects on both. The results also provide empirical evidence that consumers’ panic buying can trigger them to experience more negative emotions, which proves why such abnormal buying behaviors are an essential matter to be addressed.</p>","PeriodicalId":46383,"journal":{"name":"Family & Consumer Sciences Research Journal","volume":"50 2","pages":"150-164"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/fcsr.12421","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42856053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on Rogers' (2003) diffusion of innovations theory, we investigate which attributes are related to adoption of three popular fad diets (ketogenic, paleolithic, and intermittent fasting) relative to the expert-recommended Mediterranean diet. Binary logistic regression results using data from an online survey of 424 US adults revealed that a diet’s complexity was negatively associated with adoption, while a diet’s relative advantage and compatibility were not related.

Three key findings were that rural healthcare providers: (i) recognize the influence of financial capability on patients’ health outcomes and healthcare access, (ii) saw a need for resources to support patients’ financial capability, and (iii) do not feel well-positioned to address patients’ financial needs. Implications include the need for tools, resources, partnership strategies, and programs that support rural patients’ financial capability.</p>","PeriodicalId":46383,"journal":{"name":"Family & Consumer Sciences Research Journal","volume":"50 1","pages":"27-41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48789992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Qualitative data were gathered by interviewing 15 Hispanic married couples who were born and raised in a Hispanic country and moved to the United States after the age of 18. Interviews were conducted in Spanish using snowball sampling. Findings revealed that Hispanic immigrants maintained their original culture while adopting the host culture. Most participants were oriented toward quality, price, brand, time, and recreational consciousness when shopping for fashion products. Whereas males were more inclined to be time-conscious, females were more price- and recreational-conscious. The findings suggest acculturation is closely linked to Hispanic shoppers’ orientation. Thus, understanding acculturation levels among targeted ethnic shoppers is important to discover their general attitudes toward shopping for fashion products.</p>","PeriodicalId":46383,"journal":{"name":"Family & Consumer Sciences Research Journal","volume":"50 1","pages":"42-58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43750177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
